Whilst photographing the Southern Red Bishops yesterday, this Cape Skimmer (Orthetrum julia capensis) was my companion.




A few weeks ago, I drew attention to Southern Red Bishops (Euplectes orix) chattering in the reeds at nightfall. During the South African spring (September to November), the males turn bright red and weave exquisite nests for the breeding season. I photographed a small colony yesterday.
